LOGINMeanwhile, in another dimension, far from the war that was about to break out on Earth, the gods watched their creations’ decisions with boredom. They all placed their bets as if it were a game, but only the great Luna Goddess was genuinely concerned about what might happen.“Sister, there’s no need to get upset,” said the god of Sleep. “The die has been cast, and fate is clear; it always follows its course to be fulfilled.”And that was precisely what the great Goddess of the Luna feared.Because in the game of life and power, there were secrets that would be revealed—secrets that surpassed fate itself. And if there was one thing the Great Goddess had learned, it was that you could not defy fate.“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” she said. “Our players are doing their part, but we have no idea what might actually happen. Often, fate plays at being so unpredictable that even we gods tremble.”The Luna Goddess's words caused a deep silence to fall over the pantheon. This t
Eloise“I don’t understand,” Elijah said. “Are you talking about a monster?”“I’m talking about something worse, something that can change everything, and it’s what Nesko is really trying to control,” Emmett said without hesitation, with a desperation that broke my heart. “If Nesko and Hall control that strange being, not only will we die and the planet disappear, but all dimensions will collapse.”My heart began to race.That was the worst thing that could happen, and that very fact made the gods’ visit make sense—much more sense than he had thought.He couldn’t believe the situation; it felt like walking on eggshells, and everything had blown up in our faces.“Do you know what the creature looks like, where they found it, how it—”“I don’t know any details; I can’t see any further. I just saw a conversation between Hall and Nesko saying they had to move on to the next phase,” my brother said, and fear was evident in his voice. “Whatever they planned at the beginning didn’t work, and
EloiseGibran’s look of shame was genuine.The man felt remorse, but he didn’t regret what he’d done because he truly believed he’d done what was necessary to save his family. I could grant him that, but not his lack of sincerity.It was madness for him to throw away everything he’d built within the pack.And as if he sensed I was sizing him up, his feelings completely overflowed. My power read him without fear, and the result of his emotions was utter madness.“You know you owe me,” I said simply. “I have gifts that life gave me to use, and it was a pleasure for me to help your mother. But what you did goes far beyond the situation—it’s complex and total madness. So tell us the truth, for the sake of that mother you always wanted to save.”I felt the tension drain from Grace’s body.“Give those explanations to Eloise,” Grace said in a much softer tone of voice. “She’s the only one who doesn’t want to rip your head off right now, and she’s the last one to love you.”The sorceress stoo
Eloise“What the hell is going on?” Elijah asked immediately.One of the guards looked at my mate with a serious expression.“I’m sorry to be the one to say this, Alpha, but Gibran was leading the wolves toward the bunkers, so we intercepted him and the group fled,” the guard said, and I looked Gibran straight in the eye.The man was devastated, and no wonder.“Gibran wouldn’t do that,” Elijah snapped immediately.I looked at my mate seriously; he understood my expression, and that’s when disappointment flashed in his eyes. It was as if he’d awakened from a great illusion.My mind was racing, so I approached Gibran.“Did your mother get sick because of the adulterated opioids she was taking?” I asked immediately.I sensed the academy director’s tension, and he nodded, his body trembling.“Take him to a maximum-security cell,” Elijah ordered furiously. “He is forbidden any visitors; no one may speak to him, and only guards who have no direct contact with him will be in charge of guardi
EloiseCreatures emerged from behind Hall.I couldn’t help but gasp at such madness, and the tension thickened in the air.It was as if time had come to a complete standstill.Alondra growled fiercely in my mind, and I knew anything could happen.The creatures advanced without hesitation, thirsty for power.They were deformed and twisted, as if they had been torn from a sick dream. They lunged at us without hesitation, and the celebration turned into a battlefield in a matter of seconds.Elijah sent a wall of shadows to block everything, while the women led the children and the elderly toward the protective bunkers. Surprisingly, the vampire king erected a shield of air over the group of people, and the wolves loyal to Hall were unable to approach.A group of these wolves tried to attack the guards surrounding the square, so I reacted quickly.I didn’t think.My power responded before my mind did; it burst from my hands like a fierce, all-consuming bolt of lightning and bounced off th
EloiseVladimir and Nalia’s wedding was the fastest celebration ever put together.Isa was so efficient that she got everyone in the pack to pitch in right away, and without hesitation, we all moved as quickly as we could.By that very night, everything was ready: the ceremony, the outfits, and the celebration.Unlike my wedding, Nalia’s wedding was in a small chapel dedicated to the Goddess located on the outskirts of the pack. There, Nalia just wanted to have a simple ceremony with her closest friends and family and then celebrate with the whole town in the square.Her way of seeing and doing things was completely different from what Elijah had prepared for me, but I understood that we weren’t in the same positions because I had been celebrated as the Pack’s Luna.I smiled because she was completely happy, even though she was stressed because she couldn’t choose a dress.“Do you think red will look good?” she asked, biting her nails.“I think you’ll look fabulous,” Kaia said without
EloiseI could feel the tension in Elijah’s body.He stood up immediately, as if he knew where to go, but I took his hand.“Where are you going?” I asked right away.“To check on something,” Elijah said immediately.I saw the surprise on Dinora’s face, as if she understood something I hadn’t though
EloiseEmmett still hadn't woken up.And part of me was really scared that something was wrong with him. I had no idea what Hall had done or how much damage he really wanted to cause; the reality was more heartbreaking than I could admit, but I still controlled myself as best I could.The door rang
ElijahI always thought I would never meet my soulmate.Ever since the dark forest cast that evil spell that changed my life completely, I had resigned myself to not looking for her and living a life without love. Dreaming of the woman of my life was an unattainable ideal, yet she came to me in the
EloiseMy head felt like it was going to explode.An unbearable pain woke me abruptly from my sleep, and I cursed under my breath in pain. I didn't know what was happening; I just wanted to keep sleeping, to have calm and peace. I sat up in bed and took deep breaths until I realized that the textur
